Food you cannot have in the house

Chips.
Any kind.
Doritos are my favorite but I'll eat any.

Cookies... I have to hurry up and eat them so they're not laying around the house. WTF?

My husband is a food addict and a compulsive over-eater and I'm a stress snacker so the following foods will not be found in our house...

sugar (granulated, powdered, brown, I keep honey and agave hidden)
cocoa
peanut butter (I used to keep that hidden too, but I'm not going to buy it for a while)
oil
cookies
graham crackers
chips
granola bars
and yeah animal products because we're Veganoids from the planet Vegon
processed foods (I'm working on this one, doing ok so far)
faux meats that we didn't make

Basically anything that is already made and ready to eat is not kept in our house, except for leftovers. If you want to eat, you have to make it. This keeps us eating mindfully.

The sugars and cocoa are off limits because my husband had a habit of getting up in the night and eating them plain or mixed with butter. We used to go through a lot of butter.

I'm taking everything sweets related out of the house for a while. You want sweet, you'll have to eat an apple.

It's weird how on THIS site, even in this thread where people are confessing their compulsive tendencies towards food, I could still run into someone who would tell me that my husband just needs to work on a little self control.

Right. We'll work on that, sure. *giggleeyeroll* In the meantime, I'm removing all trigger foods from my house.

I can live without peanut butter. I cannot live without my husband.

Now, I'm an ex-binge eater, maintainer who believes in eating everything I want in moderation. I am the person who can have a 1KG bar of chocolate in the house and happily eat it two squares a day... HOWEVER, Jaffa cakes... I cannot be trusted near them. There's about 12 in a standard box, which you can rarely buy nowadays and most come in boxes of 36 or 48.... I would eat them in one sitting if they were in the house. Every time i'm in the supermarket I wistfully walk past them, doing the 'just buy them, you'll be fine, you can do this' speech in my head, whilst knowing full well that they wouldn't make it out of the car park. I'd really love a Jaffa cake.

Damn you.

Now I want a jaffa cake

/cry

Rainbow sprinkles. Not even with ice cream-- just straight out of the container.

Baked Lays Cheddar & Sour Cream chips, oreos, 100 calorie packs...

Things like peanut butter and Nutella aren't that bad for you though, They are just nuts. Your body can process them real well. And they have some good essential oils in them. But, too much isn't great.... so, you got me, I too have an addiction to the stuff, by the spoonful! Because I am aware of my addiction, I buy organic natural peanut butter and when I eat my spoonful of the stuff I make sure to exercise enough to get rid of those extra naughty calories.

M&M's
Sun Chips
Donuts
Cheetos

Cookies...the kind doesn't matter...if they come into this house, they won't make the night. I let myself have everything in moderation...unfortunately, there is no "moderation" when it comes to those. :grumble:

ANYTHING sweet. Also any kind of chips.

Nuts = EVIL!
Rice Crackers = EVIL-er!

Chips. Be it doritos, cheetos or kettle chips.

I cannot tell you how bags of half empty chips I've emptied in the garbage to prevent eating the whole thing!

Cheesecake/any type of cake or dessert!

Me too on eating an entire pack of Oreos, so now I just don't buy them, and if I do I make my boyfriend hide them after I have had a couple. :-(

Cool Ranch Doritos-I haven't had any in a few years because they're way too tempting for me.

Garrett Pecan Caramel Crisp popcorn. Thankfully, you can't buy it in the UK, so I only have it as a special treat when someone goes to the US. If it's in the house, I have to eat it until it's gone. My favourite naughty pleasure but 533 calories per 100g!
